Thank you, Ed Rendell.
Unfortunately it's just another patch on the breaking dam.
We need dedicated funding.
We need it today.
We need to continue to put pressure on the legislature.

Welcome Aboard

Originaly we set up this blog to make sure that the taxpayers of Allegheny County were given the full story with regard to contract negotiations between ATU Local 85 and the Port Authority.

As proud rank and file members of Local 85, we are disgusted at the way our leaders are continualy attacked and misrepresented by the Port Authority's PR machine.

We also intend to share some of the forward thinking transit reform ideas that members of Local 85 have developed over the last several years. The organized workers at the Port Authority are perhaps our county's strongest advocates for a strong and innovative local transit system. We understand this transit system better than anyone, yet the Port Authority and the local newspapers continually marginalize our voices.

We believe that Port Authority management should be working hand-in-hand with local 85's elected leaders and its members designing ways to improve and expand public transit.

Instead they constantly find ways to spin public opinion, while using fear tactics on the riding public so they can back door into deeply misguided service cuts and fare increases once again.
